South Korea’s Bold Moves to Boost Birthrates

from Montreal News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

South Korea’s bold, billion-dollar push to reverse its plummeting birthrate is sparking global attention — and not just because it’s throwing money at the problem. After decades of near-zero growth, a tiny uptick in fertility this year has reignited hope, prompting Canada and others to watch closely. From matchmaking parks to free IVF (up to 25 cycles covered in Seoul), and corporate perks like $100K per child and 24/7 daycare, the country’s going all-in. But experts caution: these policies may not magically reverse decline — yet they’re quietly boosting well-being and economic resilience, proving that even small wins matter.
